Can you both audit a file screen and enforce another one on the same folder?

This question came about when a student was wondering about enforcing a file screen for one type of file, but auditing for another type. I first tested this by attempting to apply two separate file screens to the same folder. I received the following error:

Can't create file screen in the given path as a file screen already exists for that path.

I then created a child folder inside the original one and then apply a different file screen to it. In this configuration, I was able to get FSRM to block one type of file, and audit the other. Set up your share on the child folder. This one will have both screens being applied to it and is the one that we want users to store their data in.

I'm having a similar problem, I tried to use a "subst" command to duplicate my drive but you get the following error "The path is either invalid or it doesn't exist".

Where did a User’s Account Get Locked Out?

Updated: May 15, 2015 When this article was originally published, two extra carriage returns were add causing the code to malfunction. The code below is correct. My client for this week’s PowerShell class had a really interesting question. They needed to know where an account is being locked out at. OK, interesting. Apparently users hop around clients and forget to log off, leading to eventual lock out of their accounts. The accounts can be unlocked, but are then relocked after Active Directory replication. This problem is solved in two parts. The first one is to modify the event auditing on the network. The second part is resolved with PowerShell. The first part involves creating a group policy that will encompass your Domain Controllers. In this GPO, make these changes.
